Lost In Paradise(EDITING)

5. No Questions

Two Weeks Later

Paradise

Its been about two weeks since the incident happened. Michael has not been arrested and that made me nervous.

I've been living with my grandma since I've been out the hospital. She wouldn't tell me why I couldn't stay with my mom. She would only tell me that it's for the best that I didn't see my mom for awhile. I didn't understand why but, I learned a long time ago to never question my elders.

I missed my mom dearly. Everyday I think about her and what's she's doing. I hope she comes back for me. I can't lose both my parents.

I was laying in bed watching reruns of spongebob. This bed is my comfort zone. I stay in it all day. My grandma would always try to get me out of it and try to talk to me about what I'm feeling but, I dont want to talk. I dont want to relive the pain again

I heard the bedroom door open as my grandma walked in.

"Dinner is ready." She said. "I'm not really hungry granny."
I haven't been hungry lately.
"Baby I know you're hurting but you can't starve yourself. You need to eat."
I sighed. "Okay granny I'm coming." I got out of the bed and made my way downstairs.

I sat down at the table next to my grandpa, David, as my granny sat on the other side of me.

She made baked chicken, green beans, mash potatoes and macaroni. It looked good but I still wasnt hungry.

After saying our prayers, we began to eat or at least they did. I took a couple of bites of the macaroni but, I really wasn't eating.

"Girl dont be wasting that good food. Dont you wanna be thick like ya granny?" My granddad said. I was completely disgusted with what he just said. Now I really wasn't about to eat.

"I'm not hungry. I'm going back to bed." I pushed the plate away and got up from the table. I gave them both a kiss before making my way upstairs.

I layed on the bed as I started thinking about everything I have been through. Tears started to fall as I thought about my mom and dad.

"Why did you have to leave me Daddy? Why wasn't you there to save me? I need you and mommy!" I cried into the pillow.

I couldn't take the pain anymore.

Josh

I was riding around the block checking up on all the trap houses I had. Some big things has happened to me over the past four years. I may have done some dirty things to get it but, I did everything for my son.

My phone started to ring and I instantly got irritated. I dont like when people call me when I'm busy.

"What?!" I said to whoever was on the other line.
"Aye Josh I need to talk to you man can you meet me somewhere?" Michael's pedophile ass said.
"Nigga for what? I'm busy."
"I need you right now man." I sighed because I really didn't feel like it. My plan was to get my son, order some pizza, and just chill with my Lil man. This nigga just had to fuck that up.

"Alright damn. Text me where you at. I'll be there when I get ready.". I hung up the phone and waited for him to text the address. Once he did I made my way there.

I got to this raggedy motel within 15 minutes. I text him to come out to the car because I was not about to go inside of a nasty ass motel.

I saw him come out and he made his way towards the car. Nigga looked like he haven't been to sleep in days.

"Thanks man for meeting me here." He said when he got in.
"Yeah whatever. I'm surprised yo pedophile ass ain't in jail yet." I said while laughing.
"Man it wasn't even like that." He said trying to plead his case.
"Nigga what? You were molesting a ten year old girl and you raped her." I said getting serious and then a thought came to my mind. I pulled out my gun and held it to his temple.

"So you raped Paradise?! I didn't tell yo nasty ass to do all that. The only thing you had to do was get close to Monica so she'd tell you where that rest of the money was!" I was beyond pissed off.

"You ain't no better than me. You had your own Bestfriend killed." I hit the nigga in the mouth with the butt of the gun. Blood splattered on the window as he held on to his mouth and groaned in pain.

"You know your people was threatening to kill my son for the money. I did what I had to do to protect mines." I said through gritted teeth as I kept the gun close to his temple.

My intention was never to have Damon killed. He was like a brother to me. But after I killed Dinero, his people kidnapped my son for ransom. They wanted 15 million from Damon. I didn't understand why, but I did whatever I could to get my son back. Now these niggas are asking for 15 more. I didnt know Damon had that much money. Something wasn't right about that but, I didn't question it. I just needed to get the money so my son will be safe.

"Whatever man, but I got someth-" hit him with the butt of the gun again cutting him off mid sentence. I didn't care what he had to say anymore. Little did I know that piece of information was valuable to me and my son's safety.

"Ahh shit!" He screamed out in pain.

"I dont care to hear what yo bitch ass has to say. If you would have done like I said, you would have your cut and be on your way but no, yo pedophile ass gotta go and rape ten year old girls and shit. Get the fuck out my car!"

"But you didn't even give me a chance to tell you what I needed to talk to you about."
"I don't give a fuck about what you got to say. Get out!" Nothing else was said after that. He got out my car and I pulled off.

Paradise

Today will be my first day back to school. After everything that has happened, I really dont feel comfortable being around a lot of people but my grandma was not taking no for an answer.

We pulled butin front of the school and I got real nervous. I knew that people were going to ask me questions about what happened and I really dont want to deal with that.

"Have a good day at school sweetie." My granny said. I gave her a small smile before getting out the car. I made my way inside the school and everyone's eyes was on me. I held my head low and quickly made my way towards my locker.

Once I got my locker open I grabbed the books I will need for the day.
"Paradise!" I heard Stacy call my name from down the hall. She started running towards me.

"Oh my god! I missed you so much!" She said while giving me a tight hug. I hugged her back just as tight. I really did miss my bestfriend.

She looked at me with a sad expression. "How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Um I'm ok Stacy." I said even though I was lying. I grabbed my bookbag off the floor and started to walk away. Stacy held on to my arm before I could go anywhere.

"Paradise its not good to hold things in. I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything. Are you really ok?" I snatched my arm away from her. I was getting tired of everyone asking me the same question.

"I said as ok Stacy. I dont wanna talk about it." I walked away from her after that and she didn't try to stop me. I wasn't trying to be mean but, I'm tired of everyone trying to get me to talk and asking the same stupid question.

No, I'm not okay.
